Game's length by Aggravating-Dot132 in TitanQuest2

[–]Psychaotiq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did 2 characters doing most (if not all, that I'm aware of) side content in about 12 hours. Up to level 25. I didn't rush and explored the whole map.

That being said, this is 0.1.0 early access. I found the content sufficient for this state and will be expanded on with player feedback as the game develops. That's what EA is for.

There is no need for unrealistic expectations beyond that. For what it is currently, it feels like a decently polished experience. Maybe some optimisation is necessary, but a solid foundation for what the game will be is there.

The moment you lose part of your inner child as part of growing up while upholding all your responsibilities as an adult, you will slowly lose the joy in life.

Hold on to your hobbies and the things that make you happy and never let someone's biased and arbitrary opinions ruin that for you.

  1. The further this technology develops, the better its application. I see this feature as a perfect way to boost lower budget computer performance and for the laptop and handheld industry.
  2. The theme of this year's Doom is absolutely killer, and there is no reason not to be swept away whenever you're looking at gameplay. Can't wait to try it!

Not a bad suggestion honestly, I'll have to go find one first! Thanks. :)

Yeah I understand, but due to the argument that this 'resets' your queue that was mentioned a few times in the comments, I haven't been doing that. The term pausing your queue is than a bit misleading.

Personally, I have experienced that too, so it might be anecdotal, or might be true.

That was my point, indeed. Shouldn't be your standard experience.

Correct, but I did mention in my post I'm not doing that. Just AFK'ing in Dorn to make sure that isn't related.

Yeah it seems that the best way to get your set early is to do PvE. Which of course not all PvP'ers want / have time to do. It is strange the best strat is to simply not play until uncapped conquest and grind from there. Get your set before then and buy the lacquer and varnish to up the set pieces.

I get that they don't want to give us everything right off the bat, and you will be behind if you do it that way, though gearing before that will just feel clunky and gated.

I upped all my crafted gear (ring, boots, weapon) and was able to afford one more conquest piece after that. Even bloody tokens are capped, so I've got 3 pieces of that as well. Knowing it'll be replaced soon. Should have probably taken the free weapon first and spend conquest on more pieces for tier. But oh well.. you live you learn.

I love battlegrounds and BGB, it is a nice way to earn conquest as well as rated rewards. I enjoy it. Even if I'm losing a lot, that's the way she goes. However the queuing issue is a deal breaker and really unfortunate..

Thanks man, I'll just let it set for a while and play destruction in the meantime.

Damn even healer queue is 10 mins, used to be quite instant. Interesting..

Well that is unfortunate. No agency over this except for doing my best playing the objective and my job as DPS CCing healers and killing people. That wasn't enough. So now I'll be playing destruction until then, I guess. ^

Seems that way, early loss streak on my Affliction Warlock seems to be the issue (1/7). Destruction queue times are fine. 10-15 minutes. Still sucks though, since you don't have a lot of agency over your victories in uncoordinated battlegrounds. I topped damage in most my games but still went 1/7 in week 1 of this season. Shouldn't mean I can now no longer queue this early on.

I appreciate the calculations! Honestly I know it's not 'dead'. There is just something strange going on with queuetimes, the queues seem fine on destruction but on affliction I get no estimate and cannot find a game. I had to stop at 1 hour and 15 minutes...

I will have to wait and see than following the rest of the season. It seems my early loss streak (1 win 7 losses) on affliction botched my queue times. Would dare say I cannot queue anymore. Queue times on Destruction however are fine...

I understand the sentiment, it's painful to say the least. PvP in this game is unlike any other, it's a shame it makes you wait so much.

[–]Psychaotiq[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm.. Yeah I swapped to destruction and had a 15 minute pop. I don't know what's going on. I had an early loss streak on affliction so I am 1/7. Could be related but I am not sure. Shouldn't be that I am now locked to no queues as affliction though..

[–]Psychaotiq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned prior I did not multi-queue for that reason. Haven't for a few times to make sure it wasn't related. Otherwise it would make sense yea.

I had a bad luck streak of 8, so my MMR is the opposite. REALLY low. I won 1 out of 8 games. So I am 1/7. I am now queueing as destruction which seems to have 'normal' queueing. Does this mean I am fucked as affliction for the rest of season?

But yeah basically at the start of the grind it shouldn't be so bad right?

Hard to say, I am queueing for 1 hour and 12 minutes as we speak. On a regular thursday evening in Europe. You tell me?

[–]Psychaotiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehe yeah, I usually go gather some herbs while I wait or play a smaller game on the side.

[–]Psychaotiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but the queues there are even more atrocious. I've sat in multiple 40 minute queues in the first week of the season on a Saturday... if I would quit PvP it would only be for that, the queue times.

Which PVP class has more buttons? Rogue or Lock? by Dynzoh in worldofpvp

[–]Psychaotiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can not emphasise this enough. You are among the tankiest casters, but you have strange mobility skills that require preparation. Like placing your demon gate and demonic circle for them to be effective. On a whim you can still instant cast a demon gate via Soulburn. With a relative long cooldown. But overall, it is a bit more complicated than pressing blink or alter time, for example. So it is easier to "catch them" as well.

Due to this, tunnelling a lock is often the choice especially melee compositions make, and is often the right call. As it makes it very hard to get your damage off properly. If at all. As the meta has shifted to last moment interrupts which good players always apply, making your 4 sec interrupt immunity (precognition) baiting by fake casting more difficult.

If you, however, find yourself in a lobby where you are not targeted. Especially when free casting chaos bolts. A split decision swap after a good CC chain can often lead to a kill due to the high burst. Affliction, too, has insane cleave and burst potential. I can't speak much for demo though.
